We have this in the US to. Even McDonalds does them!

For different reasons though. In japan it's for small restaurants which don't employ many people or don't have a lot of space or both. For McDonald's it's for pinching a dollar more for their empire.

So about saving money, which is the same reason

McDonald's is franchised
